Texas Med Center signs Wolters Kluwer for documentation

The Medical Center of Plano, a 427-bed acute care facility in Plano, Texas, has selected Wolters Kluwer Health’s ProVation MD software for gastroenterology procedure documentation and coding.

ProVation MD replaces dictation and transcription, allowing physicians to document procedures at the point of care, according to the Minneapolis-based Wolters Kluwer.

ProVation software will help the Medical Center of Plano streamline the coding and billing process, producing coding-ready and image-enhanced procedure notes, the company added.
